Chromosome Structure and Organization
We've all seen pictures of chromosomes, and we know that they contain DNA. But how do we get from the double helix of DNA to the X-looking shape of a chromosome? Is it just DNA, or are there other things in there? How much DNA is in each...

What Is The Difference Between Sex And Gender?
The difference between sex and gender is that sex is a biological concept based on biological characteristics such as difference in genitalia in male and female. Gender on the other hand, primarily deals with personal, societal and...

DNA Replication: Copying the Molecule of Life
Your DNA needs to be in every cell in your body, so what happens when cells divide? How does each new cell retain all of the genetic information? The DNA is able to copy itself through a process called replication. Let's go through the...

Alteration of Chromosome Number and Structure
We've already learned about certain kinds of modification to the genome, namely in the way of mutations that can occur to specific base pairs, or frameshift mutations when base pairs are deleted or inserted. But there can also be...

Meiosis, Gametes, and the Human Life Cycle
We know that your body produces more cells through mitosis. But where did your very first cell come from? It can't have been mitosis, because mitosis needs a cell to start with. As it turns out, meiosis and subsequent fertilization are...

Mendelian Genetics and Punnett Squares
For all of human history, we've been aware of heredity. Children look like their parents. But why? When Gregor Mendel pioneered the field of genetics, he began to try to answer that question, and now that we know about chromosomes, all...

BIOLOGY - Genetics - Mitosis
Mitosis produces identical copies of cells, and is involved in growth, cell repair and asexual reproduction - which is how simple organisms reproduce. When cells divide by mitosis, two new cells form and each cell is identical to one...

Sperm and Eggs Cells
In this video we learn about the distinct differences of egg and sperm cells, which are also known as gametes. We will see how the chromosomes from each cells come together to form our unique genetic code. The gametes (sperm and egg...

Mitosis: How One Cell Becomes Two
We know that we are made of cells. But we start out as just one tiny little cell in the womb. How does that become enough cells to look like a baby? And how does that baby get enough cells to become an adult? The answer is mitosis! This...
